Traditionally, I haven't been that type of birder...
But I've been tagging and organising all of my photos, and I'm tagging them by their genus and species, so I've become that type of birder :)
Yep, I'm officially a lost cause... I recognised the bird by its genus and species before I saw the picture...
Here's another photo from the same day that one was taken, but showing a different angle. To give some context, to the right of the image, and not in frame, is where the McDonalds and cinema used to be. The three story section behind the yellow construction machinery is near the Bakers Delight and Cinnabon

Personally, I prefer an apartment that I have to clean myself, because it means I don't have to worry about random strangers coming in to my apartment all the time.
Hotels just don't work for me. They're completely disconnected from the location and people around them, and full of people just as unfamiliar with the surrounds as I am.
When I was in Puerto Iguazu in Argentina, if we'd have been in a hotel, we'd have been in a sculpted, serviced space completely disconnected from the town around it. Instead, we stayed in a tiny little apartment in the back streets of the town. We got to actually see and experience the place, in a way that would have been impossible with a hotel.
Even if changes like this become universal (and I hope they do) I'll likely to continue to use Airbnb over hotels when I can.
As long as they raise it above flood level! :)
It's still not decided.
I started at 41, and I turn 50 next year. You've got this :)

Image description: A photo of a partially demolished Toombul shopping centre. Cinnabon and Bakers Delight signs are both visible. The area they are in used to be entirely inside the centre, but is now exposed to the elements due to the intervening walls being torn down. Construction machinery is visible in the foreground

The expression on that second birds face is meme worthy!
Image description: Two little black cormorants sitting on rocks in a creek, surrounded by water with reflecting dappled greenery from the vegetation on the banks of the creek. The closest cormorant has its beak wide open, and the smaller cormorant in the background has a surprised look on its face

Yep, brown is a challenging colour, but this guy makes it work!
